iPhonetography - a new word that may define a whole new era of photography

I know this hyperbole but perhaps the iphone may well create a whole new era of photography.   It is too early say whether this is so but it would seem that i am not the only one to enjoy the incredible creative potential of the iphone.  I am sure that there are other camera phones that are creating a similar buzz but as I use an iPhone then I am only interested, for the moment, with the iphone.

I initially thought that I was the only one who liked the quirky photographs that iPhone created but now I know I am not alone.  To prove this take a look at the following sites. 

This fade may well pass as many others have but I suspect that it won't.  The reason for this is two fold.   The iPhone may well appeal to people who are creative by nature or inclination.  So they may well be more inclined to use the camera for something more than a tool to post snaps to Facebook.  The second is the success of the phone itself.  There may well be a critical mass building whereby the trend sticks.   However, with all predictions only time will tell.
